Pakistan have plenty to ponder about if they have to go back home with a win. The tour only gets tougher as Azhar Ali might be ruled out with an hamstring injury. Will they be able to turn it around in less than 48 hours? Join us back on Sunday to find out. For now, goodbye and cheers!

Steven Smith: "It was a pretty average start. We were in a bit of a hurry. But Matthew Wade played an exceptional innings to get his first ODI hundred. I thought 270 was a par total. We bat all the way down, Starc is batting at no. 10 and we saw how destructive he can be (in the Test series). If we come off we are going to post big scores, but need to be smart at the top. The bowlers got the job done, took the pace off the ball and bowled beautifully to defend that target."

Azhar Ali: "It is a bit sore and hopefully I can get it recovered soon. We will have a better assessment tomorrow. If I get better, I can take part in the next game. Full credit to the bowlers, we were very good in the first half. Credit to Wade as well for batting brilliantly. I think 260 was very much chaseable, but we kept losing wickets regularly. It was pretty hot and the outfield was very long, we had to run a lot, but as professionals we can't make excuses."

Matthew Wade is the Man of the Match - "Feels great. It was challenging at the top. We found ourselves in a little bit of trouble, but Maxi took the pressure off me. I was not watching the ball in the last over and was swinging way too hard. I thought it (target) was going to be (enough). But we had to bowl and field well. It doesn't taste great (pickle juice). The captain likes it more than me."

The chase was always going to be difficult for Pakistan, at least keeping their past record in mind. Sharjeel and Azhar Ali got them off to a safe start, but a mini delay in play broke the partnership. From thereon it was a downward slide. Babar Azam and Umar Akmal showed some promise, but once the latter got out it was hard to stop the wicket-flow. Faulkner was the most effective Australian bowler (4/32), he varied it smartly to register his best figures in ODIs and was well support by Cummins (3/33).

42.4

Pat Cummins to Riaz, out Caught by Starc!! Australia win by 92 runs. All the Australians run towards Starc, who was the catcher. Hand shakes all around and a happy Australian unit leaves the field. The full delivery was outside off, Riaz bent low and toe-ended the loft towards mid-off. Starc moved sideways and completed the formalities. Riaz c Starc b Pat Cummins 6(8)

41.5

Faulkner to Riaz, 2 runs, almost! Slower delivery once more, Riaz goes for the inside out loft, gets it high on the bat and just about evades the outstretched hand of Smith, who jumped up and still couldn't get a finger on it

Hasan Ali, right handed bat, comes to the crease

41.4

Faulkner to Amir, out Caught by Maxwell!! Faulkner has four. Can he get a maiden 5-fer? The back of the hand slower ball, Amir was going for it no matter what, strides forward and miscues the loft towards extra cover. Maxi backtracks a couple of yards and clings on. Australia are one wicket away from sealing this. Amir c Maxwell b Faulkner 8(10)

Faulkner to Amir, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

41.3

Faulkner to Amir, 2 runs, fullish and Amir's eyes lit up seeing the width, he threw the kitchen sink at that and carved it over backward point. Lynn and Warner keep it down to a brace

40.2

Pat Cummins to Amir, no run, slower delivery around off, Amir was attempting a glide to third man, is early into the shot and missed it by a small margin

Faulkner to Azhar Ali, out Caught by Warner!! The captain's gone and maybe for the last time in the series. The slower delivery doing the trick for Faulkner, he is so good with that. Just drifts it in from round the wicket, Ali stays low and plays the pick up shot, got more height than distance. Warner comes forward from deep square leg and takes it inches from the ground. Azhar Ali c Warner b Faulkner 24(48)

Faulkner to Azhar Ali, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

39.5

Faulkner to Azhar Ali, no run, that will go down as a drop chance. Ali makes room and smashes it straight back down the wicket. Faulkner goes low to his right and tries to take it, but it is too quick for him. Just hits his right hand and goes to ground

39.4

Faulkner to Amir, 1 run, off-pace delivery on a fuller length, Amir hammers the drive along the ground to long-off

Mitchell Marsh to Azhar Ali, no run, Ali trying something cheeky. He shuffles across his stumps and tries the lap, is nowhere close to the ball and it almost shaved the off-stump on the way

Mohammad Amir, left handed bat, comes to the crease

38.3

Mitchell Marsh to Imad Wasim, out Caught by Warner!! Pakistan are seven down and it is the set batsman Wasim, who departs. The asking rate was close to 10 and with a limping captain the onus was on him to accelerate. The short ball from Marsh and Wasim took it on, pulled uppishly to deep square leg. Warner settles under it and takes it with ease. Imad Wasim c Warner b Mitchell Marsh 29(36) [4s-1 6s-1]

Faulkner to Azhar Ali, no run, driven back to the bowler and Faulkner does well to bend down and collect in his followthrough

37.4

Faulkner to Imad Wasim, 1 run, in the air and safe. The back of the hand slower ball, Wasim did not spot that, just stopped halfway through the shot, the ball lobbed up on the off-side and dropped in no man's land near cover. Maxi tried to get there, but he couldn't

37.3

Faulkner to Azhar Ali, 1 run, another one of the slower ones, chipped without much conviction to long-on

37.2

35.6

Head to Azhar Ali, 1 run, turning down leg, Ali helps it along the way to fine leg. Sprints the first run in search of a second, no way he was getting back safely. Head caps off a fine night with the ball, he might not have taken a wicket, but he has gone for less than 3rpo, 10-0-28-0

35.1

33.5

Head to Imad Wasim, 1 run, tad shorter, dabbed towards cover-point for a quick single

33.4

Head to Azhar Ali, 1 run, so, the intent is clear from Azhar Ali. He will not hold back and will play his shots because he is clearly struggling with the hamstring. Shimmies out of the track and heaves it away - off the inner half through square leg

32.4

Starc to Mohammad Nawaz, wide, Starc's radar goes a bit wonky, slips one down leg, there was a stifled appeal for a caught behind but it was merely to put the umpire offguard. Called a wide

30.1

Pat Cummins to Rizwan, out Caught by Mitchell Marsh!! First Sharjeel and now Rizwan. How often do we see a wicket right after a break? Pakistan lose another one. This seemed like a ploy from Cummins, banged it short on purpose, Rizwan backed away and tried to slog it out of Gabba, doesn't get it off the middle and skies it towards deep mid-wicket. Marsh sprints across, went with both hands but the ball popped out of his hands, however, he had the know-how to pouch it on the second attempt. Made a sitter look very complicated there Marsh. Rizwan c Mitchell Marsh b Pat Cummins 21(44)

Pat Cummins to Rizwan, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Time for some hydration as the players usurp in some drinks. Australia were saved from the blushes courtesy that partnership between Maxwell and Wade. Pakistan would really hope for this pair to steady the innings. They need 140 from 20 overs. Quite gettable if they have wickets in hand..

Pat Cummins to Babar Azam, out Caught by Smith!! That is how catching practices are done in a fielding session. What was Azam trying to do? Ridiculous to say the least. So, no fourth consecutive ton for Babar Azam. A back of a length delivery outside off, Azam waited till the last instant on the dab to third man, but Cummins gained extra bounce so that meant it took his glove and popped up to Smith at first slip, who gobbles it up. Babar Azam c Smith b Pat Cummins 33(46) [4s-3]

24.1

23.6

Starc to Babar Azam, no run, and again. Goes fishing with his blade sans any feet movement, the ball shapes away outside off and Azam is beaten all ends up

18.3

Starc to Babar Azam, FOUR, Starc loses radar and pays the price. Tries for the inswinger, gets too much swing and offers it on the pads, Azam just gets inside the line and tickles it fine. Raced away!

Starc to Umar Akmal, out Caught by Head!! Akmal loses his head and offers a simple catch to Head at mid-on. This looked like coming, he was playing too many shots in this over. Banged in short and angling across the right-hander, never the best idea to play the pull. Akmal hops across and looks to go through mid-wicket, ends up dragging it straight to mid-on instead. Starc pumps his fists in delight, Australia have their third wicket. On replays, it was the slower ball bouncer from Starc, good thinking there by the Australian premier pacer.

Faulkner to Umar Akmal, leg byes, 2 runs, Loud shout for LBW and Australia want a review. 'If it's pitched in line, it's OUT' yells Wade and Smith is happy to agree. Fair ball, looks like no bat involved, must have pitched in line? NO, just pitched outside leg, top call from umpire Shamshuddin. Excellent decision by the Indian umpire, Hawk-Eye suggested that the ball just pitched outside leg as Akmal shuffled across on the clip and missed, came back for the second run

The physio is out attending him. It's been a humid and muggy afternoon in Brisbane and it's taking toll on the players too. Some stretching going on for Azhar. He's taking a lot of time, he's struggling big time. Attempts to walk and hobbles in pain. Looks like he will continue to bat though.

5.4

Starc with the new ball.. Two slips in place..

Welcome back.. Australia did well to post 268 after being reduced to 78 for five at one stage, but Pakistan batsmen will back themselves to chase this target down. All set for an absorbing session under lights..

17:10 Local Time, 07:10 GMT, 12:40 IST: Australia looked down and out at 78 for five, but what a recovery it has been. When Steven Smith won the toss and opted to bat, nobody would have given Pakistan a chance, but the visitors through Amir made some telling blows in the first half. The spinners backed him up as well especially Imad Wasim, who was the pick of the tweakers. However, the advantage was let go off as Maxwell and Wade strung in a 82-run stand. The former was at his best, maneuvering the gaps and picking up the odd boundary. After his departure, Wade took over the mantle and kept the runs flowing. He found good support from the lower-order, who helped him register his first ODI ton. The target is a tough one, when you consider Pakistan's chasing record and Australia's bowling attack, but who knows what can happen. Stay tuned for the chase..

49.6

Hasan Ali to Wade, 1 run, maiden ODI hundred for Wade. What a time to achieve it. Look at him go, tells you how much it means to him. Lets out a huge roar while pumping his fist. Looked like one of the veins would pop out. Back of a length delivery on off, Wade closes the bat face and gets a leading edge into the off-side. The single is taken with ease and the Gabba is up on the feet and so are his teammates

49.5

48.4

Amir to Wade, no run, low full toss on leg-stump, Wade walks across to paddle it fine. He got some wood on that as well, but it went fine and Rizwan gloves it to his right. It wasn't far from the leg-stump. In fact, Snicko shows a spike as the ball past the stump. So, it was not bat

48.3

47.6

Hasan Ali to Stanlake, no run, fullish and angled across the right-hander, since it was very full, Stanlake got his bat down hard to dig it out, misses by a long margin and the sound was bat making contact with the surface. Pakistan had a review up their sleeve and they used it

Pakistan review: They reckon Stanlake has nicked one to the keeper. The front foot is fine. Missed it by a long way. The third umpire does not even bother to wait for the HotSpot or Snicko.

47.5

Hasan Ali to Stanlake, no run, full and on the pads, Stanlake can't meet with the flick, wears it on the pad. It was going down leg

44.5

Amir to Starc, SIX, that gets the crowd going. Short of a length delivery and Starc fetched the pull from outside off, got plenty of height towards deep mid-wicket. Sharjeel was 10 yards in from the rope and he gave up quite quickly. Had he been on the edge, there might have been a chance

43.4

Riaz to Wade, FOUR, top-edge and safe. Nice heat on the short delivery, Wade was hurried for pace, he went for the pull and was aiming mid-wicket, instead the ball flew fine to the fence. He would take the final result

Mitchell Starc, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Amir to Pat Cummins, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

42.5

Amir to Pat Cummins, wide, bouncer down leg, easy duck for Cummins, called as a wide for height. Amir might have lost his footing while delivering the ball as he immediately looks back at the landing area. He is limping and rotating the leg, hope he is fine

Shimmies down even as Nawaz throws it wide outside off, fetched it from there and nailed it over long-on. There was a fielder and he took him on

40.6

Imad Wasim to Pat Cummins, no run, arrowed in on the stumps, Cummins presents the full face of the bat in defence. Wasim finishes an excellent spell, his figures read: 10-0-35-2

38.2

33.6

Mohammad Nawaz to Faulkner, out Caught by Hafeez!! That's catching practice. Credit to Azhar Ali for keeping a slip. This was a touch quicker from Nawaz, turned across Faulkner, who went feeling for the ball, the outside edge is held low at slip. Hafeez diving to his right and making it look easy.

James Faulkner, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Drinks are on the field now. Just when it looked like Aussies were coasting along, they have lost Maxi.

30.6

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, out Caught by Hafeez!! What was that from Maxwell? The pitch seemed to have misbehaved on this occasion or I reckon he was hoodwinked by the slower ball. Nonetheless, Aussies lose another one. The set batsman departs and Ali picks up his second wicket. Looked like the off-cutter from Hasan Ali, held on the pitch a fraction. Maxwell was early into the flick, probably went half-hearted at that. Ends up skying it in the air to mid-wicket, where Hafeez settles under the dolly. Maxwell c Hafeez b Hasan Ali 60(56) [4s-7]

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

30.5

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, 2 runs, edged and safe. A rising short ball from Ali, Maxwell threw his bat, gets a top-edge which lands wide of third man. Gets back for the second

30.4

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, no run, short of length delivery on off, pushed towards extra cover

30.3

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, no run, much better. Again the off-pace delivery, cramps Maxwell for room who ends up mistiming it to mid-wicket

30.2

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, FOUR, jeez! That made a crunching sound of the willow. Shortish again, sat up nicely for Maxwell, who rocked back and pulled it fiercely through mid-wicket. Bulleted to the fence

30.2

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, wide, Maxwell thought about having a go at this short ball but decided to withdraw from it belatedly. A slower short ball from Hasan, saw Maxwell give the charge and shortened it, on seeing it loop over his head, Maxwell bailed out of it. Called a wide rightly

30.1

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, no run, full and outside off, Maxwell drives it to mid-off

29.6

Riaz to Wade, no run, slower delivery outside off, Wade delays his dab to backward point

29.5

29.4

Riaz to Maxwell, 1 run, shortish again, this time Maxwell pulls it along the ground behind square

29.4

Riaz to Maxwell, wide, Wahab and Rizwan have a chat and decide against a review. A short ball down leg, Maxwell swiveled across on the pull, fails to get any wood on it. Rizwan spotted something and appealed in unison. Riaz joined in late but the umpire signals it a wide. Nothing on the Snicko as well

29.3

Riaz to Maxwell, no run, on a length and around off, defended into the off-side

29.2

Wahab Riaz [3.0-0-24-0] is back into the attack

28.6

Hasan Ali to Wade, no run, ouch. That must have hurt. Wade is down on his haunches in pain. Hope he's okay. It was a pacy length ball from Hasan, Wade went for the pull a bit too early, misses it and is hit on the tummy

Hasan Ali to Wade, 1 run, angling across outside off, Wade opens the bat face and runs it down to third man

28.1

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, 1 run, loud cheers from the crowd as Maxwell raises his fifty. A splendid knock in his comeback game. Waves his bat to the crowd and his teammates. Wade gets across and congratulates him as well. Reaches the landmark with a pull towards deep square leg

27.6

Mohammad Nawaz to Wade, 2 runs, good running from the duo. Acres of space on the on-side, Wade knows it, just gently places it towards mid-wicket, runs hard and gets a brace

Mohammad Nawaz to Maxwell, 1 run, did that carry? No just short of long-off. Maxwell mistimes a loft, chips it in the air towards long-off, the fielder rushed in forward, dived but the ball landed just in front of him. Did well to get there though as it was dying quickly

27.2

Mohammad Nawaz to Maxwell, no run, slower on off, defended solidly off the front foot

27.1

Mohammad Nawaz to Maxwell, FOUR, outrageous from Maxwell. How does he make it look so effortless? Unfurls the reverse sweep again, it was full on middle, Maxwell takes it from there generates lot of power to place it wide of sweeper cover

26.6

Hasan Ali to Wade, no run, full and outside off, Wade drives it towards extra cover

26.5

26.4

Hasan Ali to Wade, 2 runs, Wade chirped "two, two" as he worked this full ball on leg towards fine leg, Maxi was kind enough and acknowledged the call, had to rush back in though as the throw came to the bowler's end

A slip in place now..

26.3

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, 1 run, bangs it short gunning for the torso, but lack of pace and Maxwell easily swivels across and controls the pull along the ground to deep square leg

26.1

Hasan Ali to Maxwell, 1 run, nipping in on middle, Maxwell gets behind the line, rolls his wrists and places it to deep square leg

Imad Wasim to Maxwell, FOUR, wristy, very wristy from Maxwell. Crouches low to this tossed up delivery and whips it ferociously behind square, couple of bounces and into the fence

24.2

Imad Wasim to Wade, 1 run, again some confusion in the running but no harm done as the fielder fumbles. As Ian Chappell points it out rightly on air "Tried to be too cheeky". Totally agree. Wade turned it towards short mid-wicket, set off for a single and Maxi took off quite late. The fielder though got across, took his eyes off the ball and lets the ball go through allowing the pair to cross over without any fuss

24.1

Imad Wasim to Wade, no run, nicley tossed up on off, Wade lunges forward in defence

A leg slip has been added now

23.3

Mohammad Nawaz to Maxwell, 1 run, cries of "Catch" from the keeper but it lands short of the incoming long-on fielder. Maxwell perhaps wanted to go much straighter this time with his loft, the bat turned in his hands and as a result, he ends up chipping it tamely towards long-on, fortunately, lands temptingly short of long-on by a couple of yards

23.2

Mohammad Nawaz to Maxwell, no run, quicker on off, poked to cover-point

23.1

Mohammad Nawaz to Maxwell, FOUR, ooh! Flamboyance at display from Maxwell. Just makes a bit of room and lifts this tossed up handsomely over extra cover, didn't go full throttle but gets enough wood to fetch him a boundary

22.6

Imad Wasim to Wade, no run, trims it shorter, Wade goes back and across to turn it to short mid-wicket

22.1

Imad Wasim to Wade, no run, tossed up on middle, quelled to short mid-wicket with an angled blade. The fielder fires a needless and a wayward throw to the keeper, luckily the back up was good and they didn't concede an overthrow

21.6

Amir to Maxwell, 2 runs, again persists with the leg-stump line, Maxwell shuffles across and flicks it away on the on-side, adds a couple of runs to the tally

21.1

Amir to Wade, no run, Amir starts his new spell with a booming inswinger, Wade was shuffling across, closed the bat face on the flick, in the process gets an inside edge onto his pad. Amir appealed and the umpire's finger went up in a flash. However, Wade reviewed it and got the decision in his favour

Australia review: Wade has been given out LBW. He decides to review straightaway. Fair delivery. Looks like an inside-edge to me. Yes! The Hot-spot nails it. A big one and the on-field call needs to be overturned

20.6

Imad Wasim to Maxwell, 2 runs, a little shimmy from Maxwell to meet the pitch and turn it gently through the mid-wicket region, runs hard and gets a brace

20.5

20.1

Imad Wasim to Maxwell, 1 run, shouts of "Catchhh" but it was nowhere close to the fielder at extra cover. Again, Wasim is varying his pace here, slowed it up and this one seemed to have dipped and held on the pitch, Maxwell was early into the drive, sort of jabbed it uppishly but he need to thank his stars as it eluded the fielder

19.6

Amir to Maxwell, 1 run, pitched up at 141kph, lures Maxwell into the drive, pushed crisply to sweeper cover

18.5

Imad Wasim to Maxwell, no run, flatter on off, pushed back to the bowler

18.4

Imad Wasim to Wade, 1 run, reckon a direct-hit would've been curtains for Maxi here. Yes, he was clearly struggling. A bit of mix-up between the batsmen as Wade tucked it wide of short mid-wicket and called through for a single, Maxi responded a touch late and had to hustle fast, the fielder got to the ball quickly and lasered the throw to the keeper, who failed to collect the ball

18.3

17.3

Riaz to Wade, no run, back of a length delivery angling across outside off, Wade steers it to backward point and yells "wait on"

17.3

Matthew Wade, left handed bat, comes to the crease

16.2

Imad Wasim to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Rizwan!! Wow. Another one bites the dust. Pakistan are all over the hosts like a rash now. Half the side are back in the hut. It was beautifully bowled by Wasim, slowed it up and shortened his length on off, dragged Marsh on the push, then cunningly gets it to turn ever so slightly to take a tiny feather. Rizwan behind the stumps makes no mistake, nestles safely in his gloves. Mitchell Marsh c Rizwan b Imad Wasim 4(17)

Imad Wasim to Mitchell Marsh, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

16.1

Imad Wasim to Maxwell, 1 run, quicker and straighter on middle, Maxwell presents a full face of the bat on the push down to long-on. Wasim shows some frustration as he reckons he should've stopped that

Team news:Chris Lynn and Billy Stanlake are making their debuts for Australia. They receive their ODI caps from former Australian cricketers Jimmy Maher and Carl Rackermann respectively.

The Australian camp is on a high. There is little left to prove for a mentally strong and tough Australian team. It's also a chance for fringe players to audition for a spot in the Test squad to tour India in February. Travis Head has given an early warning for Azhar Ali and Co. to expect 'scary' totals in this series once a good platform is set. So, If you're an Aussie fan, you know what's in store, right? Tick, tick, tick... Toss and much more in a few minutes.

12:15 Local Time: Test cricket might be done for the Australian summer, but hey there is still plenty of white-ball cricket to be played. Hello and welcome to the first ODI between Australia and Pakistan. Today is the dawn of a new series for the visitors. A new beginning and an opportunity to erase the red-ball hangover. Both teams have some ODI specialists coming in. Pakistan will be led by Azhar Ali, who they will look up to turn the tables. The team, which looked flawless in UAE, has been remarkably vulnerable down under. They need to win this series to move into the 7th place in the ICC ODI rankings and stake a claim for a direct entry to the 2019 World Cup. Mind you, only top 8 teams qualify.

Preview by Tristan Lavalette

Once the Australian Test summer ends in Sydney, traditionally the spotlight shifts and shines on One Day International (ODI) cricket. However, these days, due to dwindling interest, the 50-over format is almost an afterthought amid a congested Australian cricket (and sports) calendar. Once upon a time, until about a decade ago, ODIs were the pizzazz of the Australian summer with matches attracting huge crowds and healthy interest.

Clearly, lost amid the Big Bash League (BBL) fanfare, ODIs in Australia have lost its lustre with attention in the aftermath of the Test series immediately turning to Australia's tour of India next month. However, despite the ODI series between Australia and Pakistan expected to attract sparse crowds and minimal mainstream interest, there is plenty of importance riding on this five-match affair.

With the Champions Trophy just five months away, both teams will be aiming to hone their line-ups with such a major ODI prize imminent. Accordingly, Australia have made some notable changes to their team after axing veteran batsmen Aaron Finch and George Bailey with the latter's omission being a major shock.

Selectors could not resist the allure of big-hitting batsman Chris Lynn, who has set the BBL ablaze with his pyrotechnics despite limited success previously in T20Is. Following his impressive display during the Chappell-Hadlee series in the middle-order, Travis Head has been promoted to open the innings alongside David Warner and out-of-favour allrounder Glenn Maxwell has returned from the wilderness after a prolonged absence from international cricket since being dumped last June. It looms as an audition for the temperamental Victorian, who is considered a chance to be named in Australia's Test squad for India.

Towering paceman Billy Stanlake was a surprise selection but, again, is evident of Australian selectors casting a wider eye looking for prospective players. The 50-over format has long been Australia's most successful mode and the world's No.1 ranked team will look to continue their burgeoning momentum after a convincing series victory over New Zealand last month. This series against Pakistan and the return bout of the Chappell-Hadlee series later this month is a chance for Australia to tinker with their team in a determined bid to ensure they remain favourites for the Champions Trophy.

Meanwhile, Pakistan will be desperate to atone for a bitterly disappointing backend to the Test series which ended in another whitewash. Pakistan will hope new faces injected into the ODI team can rejuvenate a side that looked despondent towards the end of the Test series.

Perhaps surprisingly, Pakistan's madcap talents have not materialised well in the 50-over format, where they are dangerously ranked at No.8 in the world rankings. It means they are delicately perched with the West Indies just three points behind them, which is of major consequence as only the top eight teams at the cut-off date of September 1, 2017 are assured of an automatic berth for the 2019 World Cup. If Pakistan falls outside of the top eight, then they will have to play qualifiers to make ODI crickets biggest tournament.

With the BBL approaching the business end of the tournament and with much intrigue over Australia's looming tour of India also, the Australian Open tennis dominates this period too the ODI series is likely to be relegated to the backdrop. Few mainstream Australian sports fans will likely care of the results with a prevailing belief being that the matches are trivial in consequence.

However, for those watching, there is much at stake for both sides and, hopefully, that bodes well for a competitive series.

When: Friday, January 13, 2016.1.20PM local

Where: Gabba, Brisbane

What to expect: Hot and humid conditions are forecast for the match, with the temperature set to hit 34 degrees. The pitch is expected to be a batting paradise but could aid seam movement too.

Team News

Australia: Chris Lynn and Billy Stanlanke will make their ODI debuts, while Travis Head has been elevated to the opener's position and preferred over Usman Khawaja despite his golden Test summer.

Controversial allrounder Glenn Maxwell will play his first international match since the middle of last year after a turbulent period both on-and-off the field. The Victorian is part of a slew of allrounders in the Australian team, which also includes James Faulkner and Mitchell Marsh.

Legspinner Adam Zampa has missed a spot in the bowling attack, which has gone to Stanlake who will partner fellow quicks Mitchell Stac and Pat Cummins.

Pakistan: The visitors have made numerous changes to a Test team that was whitewashed. Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal and Mohammad Hafeez ensure Pakistan has a desperately needed makeover after a disappointing backend to the Test series.

Unfortunately, tall paceman Mohammad Irfan and vice-captain Sarfraz Ahmed have had to return home due to personal reasons.

What they said: "They've (Pakistan) got some new players in, different to the Test team and some quality players. We're expecting them to come out hard. The first match is always crucial," Steve Smith

"As a team, we improved in the last four or five games - our performances have been really good. We want to keep building on that," Azhar Ali

Pakistan's Test struggles in Australia are well documented but, conversely, they have enjoyed some memorable moments in ODI cricket Down Under. In their greatest ever achievement, Pakistan won the 1992 World Cup on Australian soil and have won two ODI series (in 1996-97 and 2002) there.

Australia has dominated Pakistan in ODI cricket during the past decade, winning 15 of the past 19 contests. The last time the teams met was during the 2015 World Cup, when Australia won the quarter-final in Adelaide by six wickets, a match made memorable by Pakistan paceman Wahab Riaz's ferocious bowling spell.
